Custom Made — Turin, Italy, circa 1950s–1960s
This refined pair of Italian mid-century wingback slipper chairs was custom made for a private apartment in Turin during the mid-twentieth century. The chairs reflect the understated sophistication that characterizes Italian modern interiors of the period, where elegant proportions and high-quality craftsmanship were often favored over overt decoration.
The design combines a disciplined geometric silhouette with softly sculpted curves. The distinctive winged headrests introduce both visual character and ergonomic comfort, while the button tufting adds depth and subtle texture to the form. Despite their compact footprint, the chairs possess a quiet architectural presence that allows them to function easily within contemporary interiors.
Constructed according to the highest standards of mid-century upholstery, the seats are built with traditional eight-way hand-tied springs—widely regarded as the benchmark of quality in upholstered furniture of the era. This method ensures both comfort and long-term durability.
The chairs have been professionally restored and newly upholstered in a refined Swiss off-white cut velvet fabric. The frames remain structurally sound and the seating retains the original spring construction.
Because of their compact proportions and sculptural backrests, the chairs work beautifully in bedrooms, dressing rooms, reading corners, or as accent seating within sophisticated living spaces.
